Dear Friends,
This year I have decided to participate in Giving Tuesday to raise money for an organization that I love, and who – despite the loss of federal funding – continues responding to the urgent needs of refugees and immigrants in our East Bay community: Jewish Family & Community Services East Bay… and there is a MATCH for every dollar I raise.
You can find out more about the organization here and make a donation here:
